Hi

So last thing I need / want to get my phone doing everything I need it to do is to handle the Nvidia side of gaming.

As I can't get Chain fire 3D to install on my device (gets me stuck in boot evry time) is there an alternative way?

I just want to be a Le to play Dark Meadow and Horn and see what else S3 owners are needlessly missing out on due to Nvidia getting all kinds of exclusivity.

Unfortunately this will not happen. Chainfire stated that with JB google rewrote the whole gpu driver framework and unless he puts himself into some heavy coding/reverse engineering theres no way to hookup the libraries that CF3d used in GB and ICS.
Hes lacking time and will to do so, since it would be a monster work.
So if you want to keep playing tegra games stay with ics, otherwise you may be interested into getting a nexus 7 which is cheap and maybe overclock it a bit.
Theres not much to do tbh, new tegra games arent working with CF3D anyway, saving a few older ones.
Its slowly begin to turn useless, only thing i will miss is probably SF4, now that capcom dropped the plans to port it to other android devices as well.
Also theres no point into getting a tegra 3 device just for those exclusives. At that point it would make sense to get a device such the neq ipod touch to play a huge library of games, tegra 3 ports as well (excluding the fact that some ios ports are lacking some tegra details or exclusives such Sumioni, but in turn you get a whole more).
Thats it, this is the current situation.
